May 15, 2024: Special program: Gay & Grey Live - Ruth's story

G&G Episode 16: Ruth's personal story

Originally published on G&G's website on April 22, 2024

CW: sexual and gender-based violence, suicide, oppression

Ruth lives outside of Montreal without internet, but she was able to come into the studio to share her perspectives and experiences. She talks about her involvement with Gayline, Children’s Aid and Gay & Grey. Ruth was placing children in foster care just as the organization was beginning to allow gay people to foster children. Her work helped pave the way for some of the rights and freedoms we enjoy today.

This episode was recorded at the Sud-Ouest Recording Service, and produced and edited by That Nikki You Know.
